Am in the process of doing face lift on my 86 FXRD rear pipe cracked, i like the look of the twin exhaust but seem to be having a problem, finding anything new rear exhaust is cracked at the Y where the pipe spits in both directions. thinking of maybe going to thunderheaders 2 to 1. But would like a true dual, if it will adapt, to the 86 without alot of re-working of the hangers, any suggestions would be great, thanks.

 

I have 2 sets of pipes for 1986 FXR, one set is slash cut, the other is old school turnout style.. I also have the very special mounting bracket and rubber mount for them specific to you exact bike...

Dark right now, I will shoot some pics of both sets tomorrow in daylight and post them here so you can see if you are interested.. They are taking up space in the garage and I am sure we can work a very fair deal if you want to take one pair off my hands...

 

check out cycle shack. they are great sounding pipes, perform better, and aren't nearly as expensive as most other exhaust systems.

 

If I'm reading your post right, slip-ons aren't going to fix your problem Your rear pipe is cracked at the joint where it meets the crossover tube (the one that runs just below the air filter)? Vance & Hines and Cycle Shack make several styles that will fit and incorporate your brackets if you can't make a deal with Gigawitz.

 

I got to cleaning the pipes up and the slash cuts are not for 1986 FXR, the turnouts are right but upon cleaning them up, I noticed some hairline cracks by the bends under the heat shields.

Apologies, I am going to weld them up but I will not be able to get to that until monday as the shop is very busy right now..


If you don't find anything else by then I will post pics of what i have after they are welded...
